Re: ODDS
there are 47 unseen cards, 9 of which are your suit
the odds of you getting your flush on the turn are 38 to 9 = 4.2 to 1 = 100/(4.2 + 1) = 19.23%
or 80.77% that you don't get it
the odds of you getting your flush on the river are 37 to 9 = 4.1 to 1 = 100/(4.1 + 1) = 19.61%
or 80.39% that you don't get it
so 80.39% of the 80.77% you don't catch a flush at all = 64.93%
so 35.07% of the time you do catch a flush
so the odds on catching a flush if you receive two cards are 64.93/35.07 = 1.85 to 1
and with one to come they are 4.1 to 1
but just because you are getting 1.85 to 1 pot odds on the flop is not reason enough to call
do you see why?
